My first Scottish restaurant in Griffintown & a really awesome venue 😇😇 We loved the ambient atmosphere & the staff was super nice, kind, & helpful 🙏🙏 From the maître d' to the server & the bartender it was fantastic service the entire time! We had the Chardonnay & then moved into the appetizers - sourdough, goat butter, & croquettes & it was beyond tasty ❤?❤? For the main dish I had the lamb shank with risotto & my husband had the Fish of the Day & each bite was super delicious ❤?❤? Our full compliments to the chefs for making such a gourmet's delight made with so much attention & care 🙏🙏 Finally for dessert I had the chocolate mousse & my husband had the ginger loaf & it was heaven on earth ❤?❤? Cannot wait to come back to this 11/10 Scottish restaurant & try other amazing items on its menu with the best staff & service 😇😇

I can't believe this is a new restaurant, because it doesn't feel like it in any way.

It instantly feels cozy, rustic & timeless. You get the Scottish tavern feel with incredibly elevated dishes, full of flavour & heartiness. The charred oyster mushrooms are out of this world, the sourdough bread with goat butter is unreal. It's comfort food that will satisfy even the most discerning foodies of Montreal.

The service was incredible. The attention to detail, from cleaning up between every course, to refolding the napkin when you go to the bathroom, to taking your coats as soon as you enter & giving the right ones back without asking. Flawless.

You can tell there's serious high-end hospitality experience behind this place. It feels polished but never pretentious, refined yet full of soul. What a unique blend!

I've never been to Scotland, although it's on my list, but this place made me feel like I experienced a little piece of it right in the heart of Saint-Henri. It already feels like a neighbourhood staple, & it's definitely going on my list of places I'll bring friends visiting from out of town. Outstanding.

Came here with my Scottish husband & my Scottish in-laws to try something authentic & we were not disappointed! The food felt truly traditional & the atmosphere was amazing. It really felt like a little piece of Scotland.
Would definitely recommend!

Great Scottish food & very friendly staff! The Cullen Skink Smoked Cod was outstanding paired with the Bruce Stout. Don't forget dessert, the Cranachan was delicious!

What a refreshing Scottish addition to Montreal's food scene! Resto Bruce offers a charming atmosphere for a delightful dinner. The drink & scotch menu is impressive, pairing perfectly with their curated traditional dishes, each with a modern twist. The staff were welcoming & the service was top notch. The food was great, our entire table couldn't stop raving about their selections long after our visit. A definite must try!

Was pleasantly surprised by the whole thing. An intimate cozy venue filled with a Scottish charm, & the food is worth it. I had the leg of Lamb dish & it was delicious, fell off the bone. I hesitantly tried some of the Haggis, & don't let the name get to you because it was nothing of what I expected, especially with it's presentation, & just blew my mind at how good it all was. A great spot for a date night.

First time having Scottish food & I can say it will NOT be my last. On top of the amazing food, the atmosphere is incredibly cozy & feels intimate; as if you are immediately friend or family just by sitting there. Owners came to the table & were so sweet & welcoming. The wine selection is also amazing, including a lot of local options. I highly recommend this place - go by yourself, with friends or family. It'll be a great time, if not you can blame it on me!

I have never had Scottish food so can't speak to the authenticity of what we ate but every single dish was delicious. 4 of us (plus a 2 year old) split two of the small bites, 3/4 mains (only because the fourth wasn't yet available for the soft opening), 2 sides, & 2 desserts, & everyone was happy (especially kiddo who ate everything & liked the haggis & the lamb the best!). Their namesake stout is phenomenal, & my cocktail with home pressed green apple juice was also excellent.

Service was also phenomenal. Having a nice meal out is tough with a toddler but they made it special for him too. We all had a great time & can't wait to go back!
